What's in the approved Republican health care bill?

House Speaker Paul Ryan and Republican party leadership corralled just enough votes to pass the health care bill -- 217 to 213. All the House Democrats and 20 Republicans voted against the bill. Some of California’s Republican delegation had been undecided until today, but in the end, all of them voted “yes.” The bill allows states to scrap many of the protections provided under Obamacare.
